In my new life, I've found a wayTo ignore the misery and make it through the dayIn my own hands, my guitar understandsMy pain and it sings to me, in a soothing way

But I long for someone to hold me,and kiss me goodnightHands that touch me gently,and arms that embrace me tightAnd really loves to make love too,and isn't afraid of the lightWill never try to control me,but guide me along just right

Every day, goes by in a different wayBuilding new memories of a life that's come to stayIn a new zone, I learn to cope aloneTuning my existence to the sound of a new tone

But I long for someone to hold me,and kiss me goodnightHands that touch me gently,and arms that embrace me tightAnd really loves to make love too,and isn't afraid of the lightWill never try to control me,but guide me along just right

As time travels on, the feeling of loss most goneFaded along with the memories of a love that went all wrongThen I will stand, an independent manStrong again with my broken dreams buried in this song

But I long for someone to hold me,and kiss me goodnightHands that touch me gently,and arms that embrace me tightAnd really loves to make love too,and isn't afraid of the lightWill never try to control me,but guide me along just right

But I long for someone to hold me,and kiss me goodnightHands that touch me gently,and arms that embrace me tightAnd really loves to make love too,and isn't afraid of the lightWill never try to control me,but guide me along just right
